1st Wednesday Card Sketch ~ with Special Guest Designer!

Well, Happy September, people! It's hard to believe that another Summer is behind us and Fall is rapidly approaching! But here we are with the first Card Challenge of the month! 

Are you ready for a new card sketch? We sure are! This one was prepared  by co-leader Sandi Clarkson.  Lots of room for wide interpretation! Can't wait to see what you do with this one! 




Next, we are super, over-the-moon excited about our very special Guest Designer this month. It is none other than our scrappy friend, Frank Garcia! Take a bow, Frank! This man is on fire with great ideas and has so much talent! Here is a bit about Frank in his own words.



My name is Frank Garcia and I have been scrapbooking for almost 5 years now. I was introduced into this craft about 4 years ago when me and my best friend first went into a craft store to pick up our first supplies. Since then, my love for this craft has grown to never ending levels and continues to grow each and every day. I love preserving memories, I am an avid photo taker, and take pictures almost on a daily basis. I love creating and sharing my creativity with others and truthfully scrapbooking has become a part of my everyday life. I always tend to create in new and creative ways and love to be inspired and love to inspire as well. I will have to say that my style is an ever-changing art form. I don't think I have a particular style as I am always inspired by everyday events and moments.
